The remarks have led many consumers to question the move. Many people mocked the plan.

The CEO of PepsiCo, which has snacks like Doritos in its empire, said it planned to offer alternative snacks in quieter and lessmessy versions.

PepsiCo CEO Indra Nooyi talked about the plans on the podcast Freakonomics Radio.

Women I think would love to do the same, but they dont, Nooyi said. They dont like to crunch too loudly in public, and they dont lick their fingers generously.

Are there snacks for women that can be designed and packaged differently? she asked, adding that the company has considered how to package a snack that women could put in a purse.
